Quidoo is working to bring you fresh ideas you can use to be fearless this fall.  This edition highlights advocacy efforts underway to strengthen our sector as well as ways to build your organization from the inside out to adapt accordingly. 

This month, our feature is John's article in the Huffington Post, where he analyzes the current scrutiny on the nonprofit sector and sheds some light on how it is misused by government. 

Our team is working to provide you with new resources this fall.  Thanks for reading and sharing with your friends and colleagues.
